Hi

I stumbled upon this boxart of trumpeter's "sturer emil" at greatmodels.com.






This paint scheme is different than the panzer grey paint scheme that I have seen elsewhere.

Does anybody know whether trumpeter has realesed a set including instructions for this above mentioned paint scheme, or is it just the boxart?

I think the yellow and green artwork is just fantasy. As far as I can tell, both examples of the vehicle were painted in dark gray and they didn't survive long enough to be repainted. Of course, I'm no expert on this vehicle so perhaps my assumptions are off base.

Hi,

The first image was the preliminary box art design and revised for the actual kit because as mentioned the two vehicles produced were in Panzer Grey.

Cheers

I'm starting to realize most German tanks were probably flat greys
and the desert yellows and such in Afrika etc.. and the white washes of the winter campaigns. It seems there were very little camo schems?
